BraceAbility Sleeping Stretch Boot - Plantar Fasciitis Night Foot Splint Adjustable Achilles Tendonitis Brace for Fascia Tendon and

I like it. Of course it is painful at first, I started looser with it as it was painful on the pad of my foot. After wearing it several nights in a row, that has lessened and my drop foot is almost completely gone. My foot bends back further than it has in years. It also has helped with my tendons that had tightened up. I can feel it in my hip from having drop foot for so long. Having that stretched each night is helping in other areas. This is quality made and looks like it will last and help me for a long time. I think the only weaker points would be the clips but they seem strong and work fine but if anything in this brace were a wear point I think it would be here. Not sure if they make replacements. Over all its a very good and solid brace that certainly does what I'd hoped. I recommend it. Read more

This thing works so well! I’d gotten new insoles for my plantar fasciitis, which worked for about a month or two before the pain came back with a vengeance. I was limping and not walking without moaning every vowel of the alphabet with each step before trying this contraption. I’d also tried two other night supports with no success. They kept my foot warm at night but didn’t hold it in the alignment I needed to heal correctly. The very first morning after wearing this boot, I felt significant relief from the typical morning/after-rest pain of re-tearing my healing fascia. The wedge is great for a nice toe stretch, as is the way it can flex the ankle further than 90 degrees. The straps velcro to adjust, but to put on and take off it’s just a clip. This means you don’t need to tighten/loosen constantly, which is nice because the grip of this velcro is serious! And you don’t need to mess with the looping buckle adjuster thingies all the time—although, in this case, the buckle adjusters are actually a cinch to work (😉) in the event you need them and when first fitting the boot. When you’re ready to wear again, you just snap yourself back in. It is a little awkward sometimes to find the part you need to press to release. That’s on the right end of the straps which is on the outside in my case since it’s my right leg, but it’s really nbd. I’ll be using it on my left soon enough to fix some creeping Achilles tenderness and they will be more accessible. We all get a turn! The toe wedge is great to have, but I can only use it during the day when I can feel when I need to wiggle my toes, since my foot falls asleep from the pressure. That happens to me when I’m sleeping in the boot even without the wedge in place, and has happened with past boots and casts I’ve had for other injuries, so it’s wholly a me thing. I’m a back sleeper, and the numbness was waking me up at night at first. Since turning over on my side when I lay down to sleep the numbness issue is completely gone. I also keep all but the lowest strap pretty loose. I fasten them all to keep the boot on, but that last one on top of the foot I keep more snug—but not tight! They really don’t need to be tight! The key is to have that ball/sole support keeping your toes from dropping/pointing and your ankle flexed all night. I will keep this contraption around even after I heal this pain for the next time I get old again. If you’re reading this, give it a try! 👍 Read more

I like the quality of this, it's well put together. The materials are all good it seems comfortable. Like others mentioned the straps could have been set up to tighten down a little bit more since this is a small size. I have to really crank it down and maybe do some modifications to get this to fit my son. The only other criticism I could make is that the clips are really nice feature to not have to always unvelcro the straps but the clips can be really difficult to unclip. I was hoping that my son would be able to use the clips to take this off when he's done wearing it on his own. But he struggles to use those as the buttons need a lot of force. It's not really a big deal because he can just unvelkro and then I have to just reset those straps the next time he wears. Overall I think this will work out great It's better quality than the last stretch brace that we got from an orthotics office. Read more

It is true to size for me. The straps are on the longer size but still usable. Issues: 1. the Velcro used for the foam block has low quality glue and the block slides out of position easily. 2. The plastic injection location on the outside of the heel is covered by a paper sticker. The sticker is coming apart and it's a mess. I removed and cleaned up the glue just to find underneath the injection location that is rough and catches on everything. I had to grind it down and smooth the area with sandpaper. As many China produced items this is another one where they cut costs of finishing the product by shipping the work to the end user. Read more
